Tumblr - I’ve been a supporter of yours for 3.5 years now, but I really don’t appreciate the scare tactics or your dishonesty regarding the use of Missing E. First of all, it’s not a “browser hack,” it’s an open-source, multiplatform browser extension that fixes a lot of issues you’ve chosen to ignore for quite literally years now. More than that, I don’t appreciate your decision to literally disable your own product to warn me that using another could result in “bugs…and performance issues.” Did no one there see the irony in blocking access to a user’s account to warn of deteriorating end-user experience? Lastly, why bother mentioning that you won’t support my account in the future - you barely support it now. I’ve more often been ignored or insulted by your support team than actually supported - to the point where I don’t even bother reaching out now when I’m having issues; I just accept that sometimes you get what you pay for. So from now on I should “anticipate potential bugs, data loss, a lack of privacy, and performance issues, and that Tumblr will not support for my account,” is that right? Why does this sound like a threat? Why does this sound like you’re planning to go out of your way to deliberately deteriorate the experience for Missing E users? Why, at every opportunity surrounding this “issue” you’ve had with Missing E, have you chosen the action or stance that seems most shady, most sinister, and most antithetical to the experience for your end users? Were I a betting man, I would say your business plan involved charging users for features Missing E currently offers for free, so no matter how it looks to a small subset of Tumblr users, you must destroy and/or marginalize this product to minimize the effect on your bottom line. Just a shot in the dark, but it’s the only explanation I can think of that’s not completely illogical, irrational, and irresponsible on your part.
